Hi Everyon

I am having trouble with my Windows XP. Somehow all of my folders are marked with read on;y and I can not change that part of the folder. Can anyone help? Just unclicking the box and hitting apply is not working. My lone user on the machine is the computer adminstrator

Thank yo
Michael
 
That is normal in XP and is a system level attribute for the folders. You
cannot change the folder attribute but you can change the attributes of the
contents of the folder. In other words, you can change the attributes of
the files within the folder but you cannot change the attributes of the
folder.
 
I've got the smae problem. Changing the individual files doesn't help either. They all set themselves back to read-only. The strange thing is it's happened over night. That folder has been accessable for years.
